Update on the 6 Tiny Potted Plants

Here’s a quick little update on our 6 Tiny Potted Plants!  As you can see above, the plants are coming along nicely! There is a labeled photo below for reference. The first to sprout were mine and {JM’s}, which would be the Hollyhock.  Daddy and O’s Rudbeckia started to come up next, and then we had several days of nothing from {A’s} and {S’s} Delphinium.  We started to worry a little, when finally we spotted some wee little sprouts.

I think what we have discovered is very consistent results between the alike species, in terms of growth rates.  They have been really fun to watch grow these past several days.  The next time I post about them again, it may be because it is time to transplant them outdoors in our flower beds.  I can’t wait to see the colorful flowers among the greens.

The hostas (below) are coming up beautifully!  Just look how tall and green they’ve become! They aren’t pathetic little nubs anymore! They are starting to open, and it won’t be long before they really start filling out those beds. We need to put some mulch out there, and some railroad ties will be going along the back there, behind them.  But I am enjoying them as they are, already.  I didn’t take photos of the tulips, because I didn’t get over to there, but the buds have sprung up from the center of the leaves.

Below are photos of the type of shrubs that are along the head of our driveway.  For some reason, I thought they were called Junipers.  It may be that the man we bought this house and property from years ago, told us that – because I surely would not have known what type of bush/ground cover they were all those years ago (or much cared back then!) But that is why I am posting them. Not too long ago, in the last couple of years anyway, when I referred to them as Junipers to someone, they informed me that that’s not what they are. (I think it may have been my mother-in-law?).  But they weren’t sure what they were, exactly. So if anyone does know what they are, please e-mail me or comment. At some point at least some of them are going to need to be removed, and I would like to find out the best way to transplant elsewhere in the yard, if possible.  But in researching that info, it would be helpful if I knew what they were!  Don’t you think?

That’s all for now.  We’ve got some fun crafty projects coming up, so I’m sure I’ll be posting again real soon.
